Make LangChain agent ask clarifying question

ubuntu_ulysses

I'm trying to implement a langchain agent that is able to ask clarifying questions in case some information is missing. Is this at all possible? A simple example would be Input: "Please give me a recipe for a cake" Agent: "Certainly. What kind of cake do you have in mind?" Input: "A chocolate cake" Agent: "Certainly, here is a recipe for a chocolate cake..."

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Found it in the docs from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI from langchain.llms import OpenAI from langchain.agents import load_tools, initialize_agent from langchain.agents import AgentType llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0.0) math_llm = OpenAI(temperature=0.0) tools = load_tools( ["human", "llm-math"], llm=math_llm, ) agent_chain = initialize_agent( tools, llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True, ) agent_chain.run("When's my friend Eric's surname?") which yields > Entering new AgentExecutor chain... I don't know Eric's surname, so I should ask a human for guidance. Action: Human Action Input: "What is Eric's surname?" What is Eric's surname?
